Yeah, it’s been a year (or maybe two) since I’ve posted anything here, but now seems as good a time as any. Over on Twitter I’ve been posting some of my favourite none traditional but still (somewhat) festive playlists and albums. But Twitter being what it is these days, content discovery is HARD so I’m …

..a lot of YA. This year I read _a lot_ of #YA: https://t.co/GzcMYEu8RB via @goodreads — Kim Townend (@kimlovesstuff) December 28, 2015 I don’t know whether it’s arrested development in full force, or the fact that so many of the ‘adult’ books by female writers I’ve read are studies in marriage or parenting, but YA …

I haven’t posted here for a whole year. Turns out 2015 got really busy. But in an effort to start blogging-for-fun-and-not-for-work again, I made a mixtape for when it’s Christmas but you’re sick of Christmas songs. It’s got some Death Cab, some David Bazan, bit of Ryan Adams, some Sharon Jones. It might come in …

Or rather, I made a mix for late November days. Deciding what to listen to in November is always a dilemma for me. After Halloween it’s the one month of the year that I’m not really interested in hearing punk rock songs/songs with monsters in. Couple that with the fact that it’s still way too …

I haven’t been writing much over here because I’ve been busy with a) a course in writing Young Adult fiction and b) my new project London TV Club which is having it’s first ever meeting this week. On the off chance that you haven’t heard me blathering on about it, London TV Club is like …

It’s that time of year again. Here’s a mix that’s better for staying in and watching the leaves fall, than going outside and stomping them. Mostly composed of late 90s/early 00s indie rock and emo, it’s best served with the first hot chocolate of the season and a good book.

Last Friday, I decided to see if I could get last minute tickets to a screening of Dead Snow 2, Red or Dead at this years Film 4 Frightfest. As it turns out I could, so on Friday afternoon we showed up to the Vue cinema in Leicester Square just in time to see Robert …

As promised, this week I’m writing about the returning shows I’ll be watching as hoodie and scarf weather approaches. First up, is PARENTHOOD Parenthood returns to NBC for it’s sixth and final (13 episode) season. This is the show I’m most excited/sad about getting to watch. Unlike Katim’s last beloved outing Friday Night Lights, Parenthood …

The final weeks of Summer are here, it’s getting cooler and it’s raining more. This can mean only one thing, it’s almost time for Autumn. My annual pre September excitement has begun – a large part of the reason I love this time of year (apart from leaf stomping, warm booze, sweaters and scarves) is …
